Introduction
The Achilleion is a neoclassical palace on Corfu, built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the late 19th century, themed on Achilles the Homeric hero, with statues of the 'Dying Achilles' and 'Achilles Victorious' in its gardens. Overlooking Corfu's south coast and the Ionian Sea, its interiors brim with frescoes and sculpture and broad terrace views. A meeting of European royal romance and Greek classical worship, it is Corfu's most splendid mansion ruin.
